Chapter 139: The Old Leader of the Knife Tribe
The construction of the fire capital is very beautiful, the transportation in all directions, the neat houses, and the use of public toilets have made the living environment here better.
All those who have lived in the new house say that the environment here is much better than where they have stayed before.
And because they have migrated far to the south, the temperature here is also a little warmer than in the north, which also makes them feel comfortable.
All the houses within the Third Ring Road have been built, and the construction of the Fire City has come to an end, and even if all the soldiers who have been outside have returned, there will be enough for everyone to live in.
A large stone was erected in each of the four directions of the south, east, west, and north, on which the word "Huodu" was engraved in simplified characters, which was the name of the city without walls.
"Fire totem, the construction of the fire capital is all completed, and the tribesmen all hope to have a big sacrifice tomorrow, as the end of the construction of the fire capital, I don't know if it can?"
Since the communication can be made, in addition to the fixed big sacrifice, like this sudden big sacrifice, the eight generations of witches will ask for the fifth gen.
"Wait a minute, bring me the stone I want. ”
Fifth Xuan thought about it and didn't immediately let the clansmen carry out the Great Sacrifice, because he wanted to directly launch the Fire Alliance Code at the Great Sacrifice.
The Code of the Fire Alliance, he was going to inscribe it on a huge inky black basalt found in the mountains, that stone was heavy and huge, and it had not yet been transported.
In addition to the fact that the stone did not arrive, there are also some different opinions on the discussion of the content of the code in the gossip space.
Now the whole totem is divided into two camps, the sun totem, the moon totem, the buck totem and the fire totem, the hammer totem, and the ox totem have not been able to agree on the death penalty.
The first to discover that there was no death penalty in the entire legal code was the day totem, and when he learned this, he was very surprised, and once asked the fifth Xuan in private.
He was very puzzled by the fact that the crime of betraying the tribe was only a laborer in the legal code, and there was no death penalty.
The explanation given by the fifth Xuan is that manpower is precious, and it has taken a lot of strength for the tribesmen to fight against nature, and it is not easy to survive to deal with hunger and war, and it is really unnecessary to execute a person at will.
The Sun Totem felt that the Fifth Xuan's reason was unacceptable, but he didn't strongly demand anything until the Moon Totem also raised doubts.
Unlike the Sun Totem who privately raised her doubts, she asked the question in front of all the totems, and the Fifth Xuan gave the same answer, but the Sun Totem, the Moon Totem, and the Buck Totem all felt that this was not enough to serve as a warning.
"Punishment is for correction, and if the result of punishment is death, then punishment will be meaningless. ”
This is the fifth theory of the mystery, and he feels that from the perspective of the totem, he should look at the longer term.
"The tribe doesn't need traitors to correct it. ”
The rare stag totem is the first to speak, giving his thoughts.
Fifth Xuan Neng could read something different from his angry gaze, perhaps he had been hurt in this way.
"If you insist on your choice, we support it, but if I have to give my opinion, I think the Bucks Totem is right. ”
The day totem opened his mouth to speak, and he said it quite humbly, basing the discussion on the basis that the fifth meta wanted to discuss.
"I do want your opinion. ”
Fifth Xuan said affirmatively.
"I also support the death penalty. ”
The Moon Totem immediately spoke, and at the same time looked at the Ox Totem and the Hammer Totem.
Niu Totem immediately stated: "I support the Ming Lord, don't want the death penalty." ”
He supported Fifth Xuan, not only for sycophancy, but also because the abolition of the death penalty meant that he was also safe, because in a sense, he was also a traitor.
However, in fact, the Sun and Moon Totems have betrayed the Fire Tribe to varying degrees, but neither of them has this kind of awareness.
"I also support the Ming Lord, without the tribesmen there would be no us, and we should not be cruel to the tribesmen. ”
The fifth Xuan agrees with the hammer's words, but obviously can't impress the first three.
The discussion lasted for several days, in which the Japanese totem swayed once, but in the end it chose to support the death penalty, and for a time the opinions of several totems in the gossip space could not be unanimous.
Fifth Xuan also thought about forcing them to obey, although it would make them uncomfortable, but Fifth Xuan had the right to do so, but he hesitated and still didn't do it.
He didn't think he was necessarily right, even if he had entered such an era in his previous life, he still hadn't completely renounced the death penalty, which shows the necessity of the death penalty.
Fifth Xuan knew this for a long time, but he still reduced the punishment because he knew that it was easy to increase the punishment, but it was difficult to reduce it.
"Tomorrow the basalt will arrive, and when the time comes, I will engrave the code on the basalt stone, so that the witches outside can take a look, and we will neutralize their opinions. ”
Seeing that the opinions could not be unified, the fifth Xuan slowly said his thoughts.
The day totem stopped talking, and the fifth Xuan stretched out his hand and pressed down, not letting him speak.
Fifth Xuan knew what he was going to say, the day totem had always disliked the Fifth Xuan's practice of wanting to refer to the opinions of Wu and the leader in everything, and in his opinion, the totem was above all else.
If human beings are the spirits of all things, then in the view of the day totem, the totem is the spirit of all spirits, and he even has a feeling of superiority in his subconscious.
In fact, Fifth Gen was often troubled by this feeling, but his experience as a human was always a reminder that he did not see humans as enslaved creatures after all.
It's hard.
Theocracy corrupts a person's personality more than ordinary rights, and the Fifth Gen needs to fight against it from time to time, and at this time, the Sun and Moon Totem will always stand on the opposite side, like a demon to encourage him to pick the fruits of theocracy.
Suppressing all criticism, the fifth Xuan quietly waited for the arrival of the basalt.
The long night of the ice period was long and cold, and when the dawn came, the wind and snow did not stop, which meant that today was another day of wind and snow.
Basalt didn't arrive as expected, because after dawn, a team of centaurs rushed over from the wind and snow, which made the entire fire tribe vigilant.
It was the messenger of the Sword Tribe, an old warrior, who was the leader of the previous generation of the Sword Tribe, and as the messenger of the Fire Tribe this time, he came by the wind and snow.
Yashiro Rang Zhuo led several other tribal leaders to greet him as a sign of respect for the Sword Tribe.
The Knife tribe brought abundant gifts, with a variety of furs and meats, including some frozen fish.
"Wu of the Fire Tribe, let me pay homage to the Fire Totem first, and then catch up with you. ”
The white-haired old warrior had seen the Eight Generations of Witches, who had participated in the promotion of the Sword Totem as a small tribe of Witches, and those small tribes were received by this old warrior.
His status was high enough and he had free time, so he was in charge of welcoming all the small tribes at that time.
In fact, a lot of the news of the Eight Generations of Witches came from him, and he was not surprised when he saw the Eight Generations of Witches, because the news that the Eight Generations of Witches had gone to the Huidao Tribe alone had already spread.
The fire tribe built the fire capital here, and it has long been peeped at by the surrounding small tribes, and the fire tribe has not hidden anything, so it is built so generously.
Even for the eight generations of witches to go to the knife tribe to watch the ceremony, it is also known to many people through the spread of some warriors, including the knife tribe.
The old leader of the knife tribe knelt down in front of the totem fire, respectfully worshipping the fire totem, and when he got up, his forehead was still stained with snow on the ground.
"Old Chief, I thought that the Knife Tribe would come, but I didn't expect you to come. ”
The eight generations of witches stepped forward and held the hands of the old leader of the sword tribe with both hands, showing great enthusiasm.
The old leader had a wry smile on his face and said, "If I hadn't met you, they wouldn't have sent me, and I would have been kicked out of the upper echelons of the Sword Tribe." ”
The eight generations of witches have an understanding of this, and it is said that the leader of the new generation of the sword tribe is usurping power, or the usurpation is a bit excessive, and it is more suitable to force the palace.
In the face of the old leader's calmness, the eight generations of witches were a little embarrassed to say anything, and then laughed dryly, and saw the old warrior looking in the direction of the altar.
"Can I see the fire totem?"
With hope in his eyes, he looked at Yachidai Witch.
The eight generations of witches were a little embarrassed in their hearts, just after listening to the words of the old leader of the sword tribe, they instinctively wanted to agree to transfer this embarrassment, but as soon as the words came out, it became "I'll let the sound witch ask".
The old leader of the Sword Tribe nodded gratefully, but there was still some disappointment in the depths of his eyes.
He wanted to meet the fire totem that the legend could communicate, and to see his miracle.
Yin Wu personally ran away, but the result he brought back disappointed the old totem, and the fire totem said that he was gone, and asked him to summon the eight generations of witches to the altar.
The eight generations of witches walked up to the altar with some doubts, and as soon as they went up, they saw two words written on the thick fog: kneel.
In this way, the eight generations of witches knelt down for some reason, and then in the long wait, the fire totem did not give a response until it was getting dark.
At this time, the old leader of the Sword Tribe was still standing below, and the eyes of those warriors of the Sword Tribe showed dissatisfaction.
It was completely dark, and some of the warriors of the Sword Tribe let out a hungry cry in their stomachs, and the warriors guarding next to them took turns several times.
On the altar, the eight generations of witches went from confusion to silence, from silence to thinking, and finally understood something in a trance.
The words of the leader of the Sword Tribe seemed hearty, but in fact, he almost promised to let him see the fire totem.
If you directly lead a person with an unknown purpose to the fire totem, it is quite dangerous for the fire totem - although the fire totem is different from the ordinary stone totem can reduce this danger index, but the old leader of the knife tribe may indeed have bad intentions.
Not only that, if the sword tribe witch comes, it is normal to see the fire totem, but a leader, or an old leader who has taken a back seat, sees the fire totem...... Somewhat excessive.
The eighth generation of witches who understood it immediately explained their two cognitions to the fifth Xuan, and the fifth Xuan saw that he understood, and he didn't give any more instructions, just let him go down and deal with the old leader of the sword tribe by himself.
The Eight Generations Witch stiffly kowtowed before dragging his numb body down the steps of the altar, while shaking his head with a wry smile in his heart.
I'm still too young, and in front of these old foxes, I seem to have less thoughts, and I need to pay attention to it in the future.
Thinking like this, the eyes of the eight generations of witches who looked at the old leader of the sword tribe from afar were full of vigilance.
